Comparison of E-Cigarette Use among Menthol and Non-Menthol Smokers: Findings from a Community Based Sample
Our findings suggest that, compared with current non-menthol smokers, current menthol smokers are more likely to consider using e-cigarettes to help quit/reduce smoking, and are more likely to use menthol flavored e-cigarettes. Further research is needed to better examine low e-cigarette knowledge among menthol smokers, which may represent an important intervention target
